The Animation Archive Project was established fifteen years ago, and in that relatively short span of time, Animation Resources has amassed a treasure trove of rare reference material that provides online inspiration and instruction to animators, cartoonists and illustrators.

We invite you to join us in celebrating our anniversary and thanking the members of Animation Resources who make everything we do possible. No birthday celebration would be complete without presents, and we’ve picked out a treasure chest of FREE downloads for you… a retrospective look at our first 25 Reference Packs! If you’re a member already, click the link below to access the Members Only Page.

If you aren’t a member yet, read on, and we’ll tell you why you should be…

This is the best time to join Animation Resources. We are throwing in a bunch of special bonuses this month to make the decision easy for you! If you join right now, you will immediately receive TWO E-BOOKS (380 pages) and FOUR VIDEO DOWNLOADS OF RARE ANIMATION (80 minutes in total). Over the next year, you will receive SIX MORE E-BOOKS and FOUR MORE HOURS of rare films… all that for only $85 a year for General Membership or $60 a year for full time students and educators. Better yet, your dues will never increase for as long as you maintain your membership. That is a drop dead bargain! But the best part is that you’ll be supporting a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is created by artists for artists. Every dollar you pay in dues goes right back into providing more valuable resources. If you are a creative person, you should be a member of Animation Resources. By helping us, you help yourself and the whole art form.

At the top of this page, we promised you treasures. Here they are… A sampling of the best of the first 25 Animation Resources Reference Packs!

We want to let members know that Animation Resources is delaying the next RefPack for two weeks, so it will coincide better with our annual Membership Drive and WonderCon. Thank you for your patience. It will be rewarded!

Every other month, Animation Resources shares a new Reference Pack with its members. They consist of an e-book packed with high resolution scans and two video downloads set up for still frame study. Make sure you download the Reference Packs before they’re updated. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

The holidays are upon us, and all of us elves at Animation Resources have been hard at work putting together a package of useful reference material for our members. We’re pleased to announce that our 25th Reference Pack is now available for download, and it’s a special one! In the spirit of the season, we’re going to keep this one a surprise. But when you click on the link to open your present, we’re sure you’ll be delighted with the treasures we are sharing with you this time.

Happy holidays to the entire online animation community from the Board and volunteers of Animation Resources. We will be back at work putting together more great Reference Packs for you after the first of the year.

If you are a creative person studying or working in the field of cartooning, animation or illustration, you should be a member of Animation Resources. If you are already a member, encourage your peers to join. More members mean that we can bring you more material from our archives!

I would like to thank the membership of The International Animated Film Society: ASIFA-Hollywood for sponsoring my efforts to get this project off the ground during its first few years. In particular, I owe a debt of gratitude to ASIFA-Hollywood's president, Antran Manoogian. Without his unwavering support and valuable guidance this project would not exist. -Stephen Worth
